  • Lessons from the Sessions: Stop Paying Bills Through PayPal (and Other Budgeting Mistakes You Don’t Know You're Making) | 473
    Oct 15 2025

    Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

    Today we’re bringing you real-life stories and real lessons straight from our private coaching sessions. If our clients are struggling with it, chances are you are too. We’re breaking down the mistakes we see most often, how to fix them, and how to set yourself up for easy, stress-free money wins.

    In this episode, we’re talking about two of the biggest budget busters we see:
    1️⃣ Overcomplicating your money system with third-party apps like PayPal and Apple Pay.
    2️⃣ Losing track of your true numbers — like your real minimum payments — and making your budget harder than it needs to be.

    These stories will help you see how small tweaks can completely change how confident and in control you feel with your money.

  • How to Budget for Things That Don’t Happen Every Month (Unexpected / SurpriseExpenses) | 472
    Oct 13 2025

    Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

    Most people say their budgets get blown by “surprise” expenses — but let’s be real: Christmas isn’t a surprise. New tires? Not a surprise. Your dog’s annual vet visit? Definitely not a surprise. These are expected expenses that just don’t happen every month.

    In this episode, we’re tackling how to stop the rollercoaster of “I was fine last month, now I’m swiping the credit card.” The solution? Savings buckets. When you create separate savings accounts for predictable but irregular expenses, you save today to avoid borrowing tomorrow.

    • Why most “surprise” expenses aren’t really surprises

    • How savings buckets can bring stability to your monthly budget

    • The exact steps to set up your own buckets

    • Real-life stories from clients who’ve transformed their finances using this method
